Is Arizona -11 the smart bet?

Not only that, but quarterback Kahlil Tate now has a season under his belt with offensive coordinator Noel Mazzone. Heading into 2018, Tate was a Heisman Trophy dark horse. Tate should have no trouble moving the football against Hawaii.

Hawaii can more than hold its own on the scoreboard in this game.
